65% of U.S. adults say the way the president is elected should be changed so that the winner of the popular vote nationwide wins the presidency.

They will never allow that because it’ll kill the entire republican party lol
Won’t be good for Democrats either. System is rigged for two parties and two parties only.
This would not really change the two party system. All it would mean is that you genuinely need a majority of votes and not the majority of a weird convoluted combo of states.
It would destroy the party system. Suddenly there’s a progressive democrat party and the freedumb caucus becomes it’s own thing.
I’m game for that.
First-past-the-post voting systems result in two conflicting parties. This would entrench the two party system. The current system is not good, but popular vote is only slightly better.
The difference is in what the voters want.
Both parties wouldn’t be for it, but liberal voters would be for it. Conservative voters would be against it.
You’ll have to pry it from their cold, dead hands.
You mean their hands the way they are now? Glitch McConnell had a death grip on that podium…
Right. Their cold dead hands.
You can’t convince me Joe Biden is actually alive. You can’t. He died on the campaign trail, and he’s being Weekend at Bernie’s-ed by his staff.
There’s not a substantive difference in his policies if he’s alive or dead…his whole platform is not Trump.
